Trekking the GR11 Trail

A guidebook to hiking the 850km (520 mile) GR11 (La Senda Pirenaica) trail between Irun on the Atlantic coast and Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean. Over the years it has become a well-defined hiking trail which mostly goes over good hiking paths through largely unspoilt and wild mountains. The GR11 is one of the long-distance trails which crosses the whole Pyrenees, staying on the Spanish side of the border, which is marked by the Pyrenees. It provides a very varied and scenic route through magnificent, high mountains, which are often remote and deserted. Presented in 47 stages of 7-31km (5-19 miles), four sections are given to allow the route to be broken into shorter treks. Highlights include Navarre, Ordesa, Monte Perdido, Valles Occidentales, Posets-Maladeta, Parc Natural Alt Pirineu. 1:100,000 mapping provided for each stage. Detailed information on planning, facilities and accommodation. Suitable for experienced mountain hikers. GPX files. available to download.
